Blades of Texas History

[Jake Bauer]

Hey everyone, I just got back from Houston where I went to the San Jacinto Monument and the Battleship Texas. Here are some REAL blades of Texas history that I took at the San Jacinto museum. (Sorry for any pics that are blurry or dark, the flash off the glass was awful)

Replicas of Spanish conquistador swords

An authentic knife and bayonet from a Texan Confederate soldier in the civil war

A genuine Saber belonging to a Texan Confederate cavalryman.

A bowie belonging to Adolphus Sterne, A Texas Revolutionist.

A short sword given to John Grant Tod, an officer of the Republic of Texas Navy
